ENVIRONMENT AL
Drainage and Erosion:
The subject property drains to the northeast, then under Atk:ins Road to storm sewers
located in the adjacent subdivision. There are currently no lrnown on- or off-site drainage
or erosion problems and none are anticipated after development.
PUBLIC FACILITIES
The need for fire, school, library, park: and transportation facilities is identified in the Public
Facilities Plan, the Thoroughfare Plan and the Capital Improvement Program. This development
will have an impact on these facilities. These impacts are further detailed by specific
departments in the applicable sections of this analysis.
Fire Service:
The Public Facilities Plan indicates that fire and emergency medical service (EMS) calls
are expected to increase forty-four (44) to seventy-eight (78) percent by 2022. Six (6)
new fire/rescue stations are recommended for construction by 2022 in the Plan. In
addition to the six (6) new stations, the Plan also recommends the expansion of five (5)
existing stations. Based on two (2) lots, this request will generate less then one (1) call for
fire and emergency medical service each year. The applicant has addressed the impact on
fire and EMS. (Proffered Condition 2)
The Courthouse Fire Station, Company #20, currently provides fire protection and
emergency medical service. When the property is developed, the number of hydrants,
quantity of water needed for fire protection, and access requirements will be evaluated
during the plans review process.
Schools:
Approximately one (1) student will be generated by the development of two (2) dwelling
units. Currently this site lies in the Reams Elementary School attendance zone: capacity-
638, enrollment - 570; Providence Middle School zone: capacity - 1,089, enrollment -
926; and Monacan High School zone: capacity - 1,692, enrollment - 1,558. The
enrollment is based on September 29, 2006 and the capacity is as of 2006-2007. There
are currently three (3) trailers at Providence Middle.
This case, combined with other residential developments and zoning cases in the area,
will continue to push these schools to capacity, necessitating some form of relief in the
future. The applicant has addressed the impact of the development on schools. (Proffered
Condition 2)
4
07SN0334-]UL Y25- BOS
Libraries:
Consistent with the Board of Supervisors' policy, the impact of development on library
services is assessed County-wide. Based on projected population growth, the Public
Facilities Plan identifies a need for additional library space throughout the County.
Development of the property would lik:ely have a negligible impact on Library services;
however continued development in this area of the County would affect the existing La
Prade Library or a proposed new library in the Reams/Gordon area. . The applicant has
addressed the impact of the development on libraries. (Proffered Condition 2)
Park:s and Recreation:
The Public Facilities Plan identifies the need for three (3) new regional park:s, seven (7)
community park:s, twenty-nine (29) neighborhood park:s and five (5) community centers
by 2020. In addition, the Public Facilities Plan identifies the need for ten (10) new or
expanded special purpose park:s to provide water access or preserve and interpret unique
recreational, cultural or environmental resources. The Plan identifies shortfalls in trails
and recreational historic sites.
The applicant has offered measures to address the impact of this proposed development
on the infrastructure needs of Park:s and Recreation. (Proffered Condition 2)
Transportation:
The property (1.2 acres) is currently zoned Agricultural (A). A single family home has
been constructed on the property. The applicant is requesting rezoning to Residential (R-
12). The applicant intends on subdividing the property into two (2) residential lots.
Based on single family trip rates, the development could generate approximately twenty
(20) vehicle trips per day. These vehicles will be distributed along Adk:ins Road via
Stroud Lane. Adk:ins Road had a 2006 traffic count of 2,892 vehicles per day. The
capacity of the two-lane section of Adk:ins Road between Reams Road and Dak:ins Drive
is acceptable (Level-of-Service C) for the volume of traffic it currently carries.
The Thoroughfare Plan identifies Adk:ins Road as a collector. Access to collectors, such
as Adk:ins Road, should be controlled. The applicant has proffered that no direct
vehicular access will be provided from the property to Adk:ins Road (Proffered Condition
5). Access to the proposed residential lots will be provided via Stroud Lane.
The traffic impact of this development must be addressed. Area roads need to be
improved to address safety and accommodate the increase in traffic generated by this
proposed residential development. The applicant has proffered to contribute cash, in an
amount consistent with the Board of Supervisors' Policy, towards mitigating the traffic
impact of this residential development (Proffered Condition 2). As development
continues in this part of the county, traffic volumes on area roads will substantially
increase. Cash proffers alone will not cover the cost of the improvements needed to
5
07SN0334-]UL Y25- BOS
accommodate the traffic increases. In the summer of 2007, construction is anticipated to
begin on a left turn lane from Reams Road at Adk:ins Road using cash proffer funds. No
public road improvements in this part of the county are currently included in the Six-Year
Improvement Plan.

Average Net Cost for Roads 17,884 8,942
TOTAL NET COST $31,296 $15,648
*Based on a proffered maximum of two (2) dwelling units (Proffered Condition 1). The actual
number of dwelling units and corresponding impact may vary.
As noted, this proposed development will have an impact on capital facilities. Staff has
calculated the fiscal impact of every new dwelling unit on schools, roads, park:s, libraries, and
fire stations at $15,648 per unit. The applicant has been advised that a maximum proffer of
$15,600 per unit would defray the cost of the capital facilities necessitated by this proposed
development. Consistent with the Board of Supervisors' policy, and proffers accepted from other
applicants, the applicant has offered cash to assist in defraying the cost of this proposed zoning
on such capital facilities. (Proffered Condition 2)
Note that circumstances relevant to this case, as presented by the applicant, have been reviewed
and it has been determined that it is appropriate to accept the maximum cash proffer in this case.

LAND USE
Comprehensive Plan:
Lies within the boundaries of the Northern Area Plan which suggests the property is
appropriate for medium density residential use of 1.51 to 4.0 units per acre.
Area Development Trends:
Surrounding properties to the south and east are zoned Residential (R -12 and R - 7) and
are developed as the Adk:ins Ridge, The Colony and The Meadows Subdivisions or are
zoned Agricultural (A) and occupied by single family dwellings on acreage parcels. It is
anticipated that residential development consistent with densities suggested by the Plan
will continue in this immediate area.
Density:
A maximum of two (2) lots has been proffered, yielding a maximum density of
approximately 1.7 dwelling units per acre (Proffered Condition 1). There is one (1)
existing dwelling unit on the property so only one (1) new units is proposed.
Dwelling Size and Building Materials:
Proffered conditions address minimum dwelling size and building materials. (Proffered
Conditions 4 and 5)
Setback:s:
The property is currently occupied by a single family dwelling and an accessory building
(garage) (reference attached plat). It is the applicant's intent to retain these structures.
The dwelling unit is currently located 49.9 feet from the ultimate right-of-way of Adk:ins
Road. The Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum front yard setback: of thirty-five (35)
for dwellings in an R-12 District. The Subdivision Ordinance requires an additional
twenty-five (25) foot setback: for lots that front on a collector road, except where a
specified distance is approved by conditions of zoning. As such, the applicant is
requesting an eleven (11) foot exception to the sixty (60) foot setback: requirement from
Adk:ins Road. (Textual Statement 1)
Relief is also sought to the minimum ten (10) foot rear yard setback: requirement for
accessory structures, permitting the existing garage to be located eight (8) from the new
rear lot line. (Textual Statement 2)
CONCLUSIONS
The proposed zoning and land uses conform to the Northern Area Plan which suggests the
property is appropriate for medium density residential use of 1.51 to 4.0 units per acre.
